2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "O’Reilly’s adjusted earnings and revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, earnings and revenues increased year over year. The company’s focus on acquisitions and expansion of stores and distribution network is expected to help growth. Moreover, increasing share repurchases is also expected to boost shareholder returns. Further, the company has provided an upbeat guidance for 2017. However, the company’s large proportion of cash tied up in inventories may affect short-term liquidity. Moreover, its store concentration in a region can adversely impact sales. The company’s stores are concentrated in a few locations in the U.S. and can be negatively impacted by the economic and weather conditions of these regions. In the past, this has affected sales to a considerable extent. Further, O’Reilly expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in 2017 compared to 2016, due to rising costs."

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
